If your hand

Could reach inside my heart,

What would you do with it?

Would you break it,

Like and egg shell,

So fragile and useless?

Would you ignore it,

Like your alarm,

When you need to get up in the morning?

Would you decieve it,

Like a child,

So young and clueless?

Would you abandon it,

Like a wrapper,

Unwanted and pointless?

There are many things that you can do

Some of them bad

Some of them good

So tell me,

If you ever could,

What would you do with it?

Would you try to fix it,

Like a vase

When it crumbles to the ground?

Would you love it,

Like a father

So caring and proud?

Would you nurture it,

Like a mother,

With love that meets no bounds?

Would you cherish it,

Like the air

That makes the world go round?

I want to love you

I promise I do

I want to love you too

But with the things I’ve seen

Some things so cruel

I can’t trust

I can’t appreciate

All the things that you do

So maybe

Just maybe

You can teach me how to love

Teach me how to love

Just like you.
